The partnership with ITOCHU will lay the groundwork for future potential opportunities and reinforce ACG’s leadership status within the global aircraft leasing sector."

• - The completion of the sale of eight aircraft, resulting in a net gain of $13 million.
• - The weighted average age of ACG’s aircraft portfolio stands at 5.4 years, complemented by an average remaining lease term of 7.0 years.

Such dynamics underscore ACG's capability to not only expand but also optimize its existing aircraft interests effectively.
